ECHO employee 'charms' as contestant on ITV's The Chase

An ECHO employee made waves on ITV's The Chase tonight.

Anthony, from Cheshire, works as a newspaper designer in the ECHO offices here in Liverpool as well as for Cheshire Live.

Telling host Bradley about his job, he said: "I take a reporter's story, cut it all to fit, put it on the page, check for errors and then put it together."

After getting £6,000 in the cash builder round, Anthony went up against Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty.

Before the head to head, Anne said: "I've got a headline for you - it's the Governess that won it."

But the paper editor, who collects Subbuteo figurines in his spare time, beat the Chaser and took £6,000 back to the team.

Anthony impressed viewers at home.

On Twitter , Kyle said: "Really hope they win just so Anthony can take the cash home, what a charming gentleman"

Jason said: "He was well chuffed to get thru. good work fella!!"

Jenny said: "Well done Anthony" and added a GIF of Hollywood actor Idris Elba giving a thumbs up.
